Spurilla chromosoma from California

Hi Doc,
Here is another aeolid from southern California. It is known as Aeolidiella chromosoma. These two animals were found under a rock at San Clemente island. I have also sent a photo of its egg ribbon.
Take care,

Thanks Bruce,
I have placed this species in the genus Spurilla, where it was first described, rather than Aeolidiella. Althought the radula is superficially similar to that of some species of Aeoldiella it is not that different from that of some species of Spurilla. I think there is still much work to be done on the relationships within the aeolids. Until the situation is clearer I will leave this species in Spurilla so there is some internal conssistency in the Forum.
